You *completely* distorted my comments, and then crafted an argument
based not on my comments but on your own distortion. (You really need
to switch to a different type of radio programming).

Not much point to continue to defend a position that I never stated in
the first place, is there?

I stand by my original comment quoted above. What that has to do with
what you tried to read into it, I'll never know.

Sorry if I distorted things. I did conclude though that it is a shame that
this 32 foot boat cannot handle open water or 5 foot seas without the fear
of flooding the deck. ;-)

Poor engineering.
